| After updating to 2547 in VS 17.12.3, I no longer get Enhanced Syntax Coloring in the Find in Files results window. I have all boxes in Options -> Coloring and Attributes -> "Apply coloring to" checked. Sometimes after a Find, some broken-looking portion of the first line is colorized, but the rest are all just white on black (dark theme). I can't reliably repro that, so I don't have a screenshot to share. I make use of this colorization constantly to make the Find operation more useful, so I noticed right away when it was gone. Let me know if there's any more info you need for a repro, hopefully it happens for you right away and is not just me. |

VA doesn't try to colour the IDE Find in Files results window. I have just double checked VS2022, VS2019 and VS2017 to make sure. Were you expecting to see VA colouring here?
Or are you talking about VA's Find References Results window? |

I'm afraid I must disagree. I have screenshots from 2537 (working) and 2547 (not working) that I've captured just now. If it's truly not coloring the text in the window, and some other VS feature is causing it to be colorized using VA colors, then 2547 is now preventing whatever that is from working. It has colorized that window for... time is difficult, but I want to say "years". Maybe it's not as long as I'm imagining, but I rely on that many times every day.
To be on the safe side, I should probably email the screenshots rather than attaching them here. Can you send me a DM with where is best to send those? |

| I would like to confirm that I have the same issue after upgrading to 2547. In all previous versions in order to have coloring enabled in Find Results one had to have the Views in Coloring and Attributes checked and the Find Results pane needed to have the List View option enabled. Now after the upgrade this doesn't work, but sometimes I see random coloring there. |

Apologies, I didn't notice the "List View" button, so thought that VS2019 and VS2022 only had the tree control version of the find in files results. I don't spend a lot of time with this results window.
Now I know to use the List View button, the problem is quite clear, and definitely a regression.
I have put in a bug report for this:

| Thanks for that. The list view was the only view until fairly recently, and I switched back to it when the tree view came out, so I forgot there were options. Thanks to tomob for pointing that out. |
